they argued against the new et armis depositis, not claiming for themselves a common Republic of Poland with greater freedom and prerogatives than us, and not making decisions without us and without our authority, without making a private assembly, because such their actions are discriminating against the brothers and therefore they are claiming the destruction of Europe. Therefore, even if they did not want to restrain themselves a proposito suo, even for the dignity of the King. J. These tumultuaries for rights and common peace, as they conceived, have come to us, having made a declaration to God and the whole world, to cut ourselves off to that which such oppressia extracts from our equals and equality of freedoms. 6. And they did not heed the admonition of J. kr. If they do not want to deponere arma et abstinere ab tumultibus, we ask King IMci to let our Russian voivode quam primum know about their further plans, quam primum, to whom we are also sending from here, so that he can come closer to us to Lviv and there the authoritate praesenlis conventus will wait for King IMci's announcement. And we undertake, sub fide et honore et conscientia, sub paenis de expeditione bellica sancitis, that at the same time, following the universal IMci p, the voivode, we will reach the king IMci in armis, as our duty as a nobleman carries, and we will turn wherever the need shows, to be non desimus for ourselves and our homeland. 7. And since the Lord Hetman has given us a consensus on this between us and the fact that Her Majesty has deigned to send letters suitable for the captains, we are satisfied with this and we are asking the Lord Hetman to move there with this army at the first announcement of His Majesty the King. Mci, where necessilas et pericula will show. And we pay this soldier a salary from conscription, who advises not only one, but whenever necessary, propter salutem patriae, to allow us to give power to the pp. to our deputies and immediately we will choose a collector from among ourselves and appoint Mr. Jan Kopystyński to the Lviv land; to Przemyśl JW. Mr. Stanisław Michałowski, to the Sanok IMć, Mr. Deputy Judge of Sanok. 8. We entrust the place of celebration of the year and the location of Przemyśl land records to the town hall in Przemyśl to be designated by the Sejm. deputies'), and the year's traete should be held in Stryj after Przeworskie on two Sundays. The fourth earth year is to bring to the Sanok lands Mr. deputies, especially recommending to them that they should introduce us to strengthen the laws regarding home security and prohibition of private activities, civil war regarding tumults, rapes, and incidents of people entrusted to the care of others. 9. The great merits and advantages of Mr. Chodkiewicz, Hetman of Lithuania, are known not only to us but also to the whole world; please humbly J. kr. My lord, please take care of such a distinguished and needed man in our Republic and, without postponing anything further, give him a reward according to his merits at this Sejm. And also for Mr. Jan Mielecki, who has been serving the Republic of Lithuania at great expense at his own expense, and now, without leaving Livonia, for the whole year and a half, he has been serving his health and taking care of his wealth, and we are diligently asking the King of Imci that he may receive from the King the provision of his services and a handsome reward for his merits. According to Mr. Zydaczowski, our intercessions at many sejms have no effect, we ask J. kr. He wants him not to receive any further delays in reward for his services, and a handsome praemium of his services, which Mr. our MPs are to support soUicite. For Mr. Hermanowski's intercession is to be made urgent by Messrs. deputies, so that, according to our first consent, he would have the sum of five hundred zlotys. from the collection of overdue pensions, because the pensions for which he was assigned were not available. Mr. Ghotecki's matter regarding the bakery business should end at this Sejm, and Mr. Ghotecki is trying to afterword. 10. The request of the Lviv suburbs around the beginning of the commune, as well as the request of the Przemyśl and Rohatyn townspeople, is to be promoted by Messrs. ambassadors to the king of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Poland, but with warnings to the faithful members of their followers and their number.
